false glideslopes will be at multiples of the angle of the "real" one. Usually you will see one at twice the angle (about 6 deg) so descent rate will be x2 (or about 1500 fpm) anything in excess of 600-900 fpm should be suspect.
 
Had the same thing happen to me after I had an engine lose oil pressure on climbout. I tuned in the ILS and it bounced around a little then showed on glidepath but it was really the glideslope reciever in the plane quit and that's where the needle defaults to. Not so much fun to switch to a localizer approach using a separate vor for your stepdown fixes...

He meant GS = groundspeed, not glideslope... So for your example 150/2 = 75; 75x10 = 750 FPM. Just a nomenclature thing, I know you're already aware of the rule. Just thought I'd clear it up for everybody.

I stand totally corrected, TY.
